The decision to have Zimmerman reportedly was not well-received by everyone. The planners claim the event -- which was previously scheduled to be held at the Majestic Event Center -- had to be moved to the Arms Room after adding Zimmerman to their schedule.

Organizer Mike Piwowarski told HLN affiliate WESH, "They told us they canceled for community pressure. Once it was known he was going to be there, they said that their community -- phone calls, emails -- they were getting backlash and they didn't want his type of person there."
